ComEd Launches EV Ambassador Program to Promote Electric Vehicle Adoption in Northern Illinois
ComEd has announced the launch of its EV Ambassador Program, a community-centered initiative designed to raise awareness and boost adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) across northern Illinois. The program partners with local organizations—Equiticity, Bronzeville Community Development Partnership, and A Step Beyond NFP—to deliver education and live EV demonstrations throughout the summer.
EV Ambassadors will connect residents and businesses with resources like ComEd’s EV rebate programs, dealership network, and EV Toolkit, all part of ComEd’s broader Beneficial Electrification (BE) Plan. The initiative aims to reach underserved communities, reduce barriers to EV access, and improve health outcomes by lowering pollution from gas-powered vehicles.
ComEd has committed over $100 million in rebates for 2025, covering home charger installation, fleet electrification, and public charging infrastructure. As of now, $30 million in rebates have already funded nearly 5,000 charging ports and close to 1,000 electric fleet vehicles, with 85% of funding going to equity-eligible communities.
Community events where residents can meet EV Ambassadors include the Oak Park Farmer’s Market (May 31), Rockford Community Market (June 5), and others.
